Free Agency Overload

Category: , , , , , , , , ,

Free agency has been a non stop machine since 12:00 Friday morning

I think I'm in Free Agency Overload. Just when I think I know who's going wear and what team signed who, something happens to make me see different.

A lot of players who made their careers with one team, now have new homes. Brian Dawkins a Bronco? Does even feel right to say that. Fred Taylor a Patriot? Feels wrong and dirty for some reason. Ray Lewis going to....oh wait, Ray Ray didn't get an offer from another team yet (tee hee hee)

But trying to keep up with this year's free agency requires a full time job. Shout out to guys like Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen that do nothing but call, text and email to give us, the fans, the latest scoop on their favorite team. Let's review the biggest moves in free agency this weekend, shall we?

Broncos Go Crazy!- Okay, by now we all know that Brian Dawkins is now rocking a horse on his helmet, and no longer an Eagle (from what I hear, Philly fans are LIVID about this).

But in addition to Dawkins, they went on a spending spree and also signed WR Jabar Gaffney (Pats), RB Correll Buckhalter (Eagles), RB JJ Arrington (Cards), WR David Anderson (Texans), S Renaldo Hill(Dolphins), Tom, Dick, Harry, Craig and nem....

Okay seriously. There were more people to the list, but you get my point. The Broncos weren't playing around. They were about business and they plan on contending this season.

In addition to adding all of these new player on the roster, there were trade rumors swirling around, regarding QB Jay Cutler and QB Matt Cassel. Even though it didn't happen, poor wittew baby Cutler was upset with the notion and even stated that the team would go in an uproar if he were traded.

Really?! Do you really think other guys would fight tooth and nail over someone other than themselves. Man please!


Now, with all of these new acquisitions they have, they better be competitive this upcoming season. If they just so happen to stink up the joint again, like last year, I'm gonna be the first one cracking up at this news. Mainly because I really don't like Cutler anyway. I think he's a whiner and a brat- two things I hate the most.

Matt Cassel, Mike Vrabel traded to KC for 2nd round draft pick-

Are you kidding me?!?! Seriously, when I read this, I thought this was a rumor. But it turns out to be true. After Belichick put the franchise tag on Cassel, I thought one of two things would happen. Either he would stay with the Pats at least another year, to make sure Brady's knee is okay. Or he would be traded and the Pats would get 2- 1st round picks, as that is the usual trade offer for a tagged player.

But to get 2 players for the price of one draft pick? And it's not even a 1st rounder? Wow!

Who knows if Brady is healthy enough to start on opening day. Hell, who knows if he's ready to give up his schmoozing sessions, with him and Gisele being joined at the hip nowadays.

But if Belchick likes it, then I love it. It doesn't hurt that Cassel's $14+ million cap space is lifted either


Giants beef up defense, signing Canty and Bernard- Okay, am I the only one surprised by these signings? The last time I checked, the Giants were the 5th ranked defense in 2008, and that's without Osi, who was placed on IR last year. So why are they stacking up so much on defense?

Word has it, their #1 receiver, Plaxico Burress, is acting as if he isn't a member of the team, sending out notions that he wants to be traded. Even if he didn't want to be traded, he has a gun charge held over his head. Who knows if he'll be in jail by the time the season starts anyway.

Once Burress was no longer on the field, the Giants WRs looked average at best.

I know the Giants were a Top 10 offense. But let's be real... it was because they had the #1 rushing offense in the league. That will make your overall yardage go waaaayyy up. Their passing game averaged 198 yards per game.

My point? Defense was never the problem. Giants, get a WR and get it NOW. TJ Whoseyourmama is still out there. Give him a call!!!



OT- My prayers are going out to the families and friends of NFL players Corey Smith and Marquis Cooper, along with the two other guys missing. The 4 young men went on a fishing trip on Saturday and has been missing ever since. I'm praying for a miracle.
